Durantula reached 10,000 points

Kevin Durant became the second youngest player to surpass the 10,000 point-mark in the NBA. The Oklahoma City Thunder forward achieved this goal at 24 years and one month old (he was born on 9/29/88), he scored 23 points in the NBA regular season opening game against San Antonio Spurs. Durant now has 10.001 points. The youngest to achieve this was LeBron James, who surpassed at 23 years 2 months old (on Feb 27, 2008 playing for Cleveland visiting Boston).

Also Dwyane Wade is the 123rd to reach the 15,000-point plateau. The Miami Heat guard is the sixth youngest all-time in reaching that mark, in just 597 games played. The first in that list is Michael Jordan who scored 15,000 in only 460 games. The next member of this selected club will be Pau Gasol. The Lakers power forward has right now 14,901 points and very probably will score the remaining 89 in a couple of weeks.
